Chapter 195 Blood Rice Crisis
The sun was warm on this day.
In the ancestral hall, the branches and leaves of a dense locust tree emitted a faint luster under the sun.
Under the shade of the tree, there was a cool feeling, as if all the light and heat were absorbed by the locust tree above.
Ji Yang basked in the sunlight, his consciousness slightly concentrated, and his own attributes immediately appeared:
[Name: Ji Yang]
[Race: Netherworld Sophora japonica]
[Life force: 1298.5]
[Magic power: Eye of Insight, Reversal of Danxing, Blindness, Condensation of Soul, Armor Cover, Thousand Miles of Red Land, Awakening of Spirit, Dead Tree Revived in Spring]
[Kung Fu: Lunar Eclipse, Gathering Yin, Incense Golden Body, Spirit Food, Solar Eclipse]
[Combat Skills: Taizu Long Fist, Seven Emotions and Six Absolute Swords (Incomplete) (Can be passed on once), Taiyi Seal (Can be passed on once), Big Dipper Fist (Can be passed on once), Five Poison Yin Wind Palm (Can be passed on once)]
[Qi and Blood: 301 (Can be converted into vitality)]
[Spiritual Power: 38.5]
[Deduction Points: 8]
[Can be deduced]
[Status: Absorbing Sun Hua... Poisoning...]
Seeing that his vitality has been significantly improved in less than a month, Ji Yang was quite happy.
By absorbing the sun and moon every day, plus the nourishment from the underground blood spring, he can absorb about 7-8 points of vitality every day.
Even if he needs to maintain the magical power of the thousand miles of red land in winter, the loss of vitality is not much.
Although there is no obvious change in his body shape now.
But the growth of vitality has made his roots buried underground slowly spread around the mass grave mountain with the Chen family as the center. Now the farthest roots are about to touch the family's fertile land.
Although the speed is slow, it is extremely stable.
At this speed, I believe it won't be long before the entire mass grave mountain is under his control.
Ji Yang's eyes moved down, looking at the few deduction points and shaking his head again in his heart. It may take a few months before the next deduction.
But Ji Yang is not impatient. As long as there is enough time, he will definitely ensure the long-term prosperity of the family.
Ji Yang retracted his gaze and stopped looking.
But the next moment, Ji Yang's eyes quickly returned to the right position and saw his different state.
It is reasonable to absorb the sun's energy, but what does this poisoning mean?
Ji Yang quickly gathered his consciousness and explored himself, but he did not notice anything wrong with himself.
The trunk was still thick, the locust leaves were still bright, and everything seemed to be unchanged.
But when Ji Yang's consciousness went deep into the trunk, he quickly noticed the changes in the underground roots.
I saw that the originally gray-black roots were stained with a faint red color like silk threads at some point, and the red color was slowly expanding upwards.
Although Ji Yang did not feel any effect of the red silk threads on himself, Ji Yang knew that this was by no means accidental.
In addition, you should know that Ji Yang now has many abilities.
Like root strengthening, perseverance, comprehensiveness, and limit breakthrough, these are all abilities to strengthen his trunk, not to mention a professional venom resistance.
But even so, he was still poisoned, which shows that this poison is extraordinary.
If left alone, it is very likely to affect himself.
Besides, as the family's sacred tree, he was poisoned when he sat above the blood spring. What about the rest of the family?
Thinking of this, Ji Yang's consciousness quickly spread out.
...
"Patriarch, it's not good!"
In the hall, Chen Tianlu ran in with a panic, shouting.
In front, looking at Chen Tianlu who ran in in a hurry, Chen Xingzhen had a vague bad premonition in his heart.
After the sacred tree ceremony, Chen Tianyu, who was originally responsible for taking care of the blood rice, was now concentrating all his energy in his body, so the task of taking care of the fertile fields was assigned to Chen Tianlu, so Chen Tianlu should be in the fertile fields at this moment.
But as the patriarch, he should be calm at this time.
Chen Xingzhen slowly said:
"What's going on? Tell me slowly!"
"Patriarch, there's something wrong with the blood rice! Go and have a look!"
Hearing this, even Chen Xingzhen, who looked calm, couldn't help but tremble in his eyes.
Blood rice is now the most important industry of the family. Before the family becomes strong, it cannot suffer any loss. Otherwise, it will not only affect the development of the family, but also what the family should hand over to the Zhou family in a month.
Although the family is not satisfied with the jurisdiction of the Zhou family, it still needs to borrow the power of the Zhou family.
Blood rice, there must be no accidents.
"Quick, go to the good fields!"
Chen Xingzhen did not hesitate and strode out immediately.
It is redundant to say anything now. Only by going to the good fields to see the situation of blood rice can we know the result.
Soon, Chen Xingzhen led other clansmen who had heard the news to rush to the good fields.
In the fields, a group of family servants were looking uneasy, and the leader Chen Yihu also looked worried, and couldn't stop panicking in his heart.
He has always been in charge of the good fields himself. Even Chen Tianyu and the current Chen Tianlu only come to check from time to time, and are not responsible for the planting of blood rice.
If there is a problem with the blood rice, he will be to blame.
Seeing Chen Xingzhen leading a large group of people, Chen Yihu hurried forward:
"Chief!"
"No need to say more, let's take a look first."
"Yes, Chief."
The group walked towards the field and began to carefully check the growth of the blood rice.
The blood rice has been planted for a month and has now grown to half a person's height. From a distance, the field is full of greenery.
However, when Chen Xingzhen and his group squatted down and carefully checked it, their faces became more and more ugly.
I saw that the roots of the blood rice, which should have been growing vigorously, were now stained with strands of curved red silk threads, some of which had spread several inches long.
Although the fertile land also appears red, this is by no means a normal condition for the roots of blood rice.
The most critical thing is that the rice stalks spread by the red silk threads have become wilting.
If it takes a few more days, I'm afraid these blood rice will die, and the family will get nothing from this crop of blood rice.
After observing the situation clearly, Chen Xingzhen asked:
"Approximately when did it appear?"
"Hui Clan Chief, at noon today, I took many domestic slaves to check the blood rice, and then I discovered this abnormal situation, and immediately reported it to the Tianlu Clan Elder."
"Does this happen to all blood rice?"
"Well, I've asked them to check it, and all the blood rice is like this."
Hearing this, everyone present looked solemn.
If there are only a few blood rice plants or dozens of blood rice plants, it is probably caused by an accident, but all blood rice plants have this condition, and this must be a conspiracy against the family.
"Clan leader, what should we do now?"
Behind him, Chen Tianlu asked.
Chen Xingzhen stood up slowly and looked at the vast fields in front of him. After thinking for a while, he gave instructions:
"Tian Mo, you immediately take the family's blood coagulation realm warriors and set up defenses near the family's farmland. By the way, check if there is anything abnormal around the farmland."
"Tianlu, dig up a blood rice plant and let someone in the clan who is proficient in pharmacology check it to see if you can find any clues."
"Tianquan, take some of your clan members around the Mass Burial Mountain and ask the villagers to see if anything has happened in the village recently that the family has not noticed. By the way, find out if there is anyone proficient in pharmacology near the family."
